Batoto hosts group's ads with their comics for paticipating groups.

Mangafox and Mangareader has more manga avaliable.

Mangareader do not upload omake+bonus chapters of the manga. Mangareader has no discussion forum for all specific manga unlike the other 2.

Mangafox uploads everything.

From the anime you've liked that have manga, read the manga then move on to reading manga with genres that you like. Mangafox and Mangareader are good.

Exactly. Think of it as an extension of your favourite series'.

I'd start by researching really good titles that cover the genres you're most interested in. MAL is great for discovering new series to enjoy. You can use the recommendation feature on the pages featuring various anime or manga or you could simply ask users directly in the manga recommendations forum. The important thing is to find a good series that hooks you and makes you want more.

Some things to watch out for. Make sure that the site you're reading from has all the current translated chapters and that they are in the correct order. It's easy to get caught up in the reading and not notice that you just jumped from chapter 24 to chapter 84. This could mean potential spoilers which could ruin your enjoyment.

As for me, I rarely ever read manga. First manga I read was maybe the last few chapters of Aishiteruze Baby from where the anime dropped off. After that it was Rosario + Vampire which was entertaining but shallow. It wasn't until someone convinced me to read Nana that I realized how amazing manga could be. As a result I've been looking to find my next manga fix.

If you're not sure what Manga to read then just look at the anime's you've watched and read the manga version of them instead. Like what I do :D I like doing that lots because then you get to read through the manga and see the difference between the anime and manga :)

I read all my manga on mangafox.com
